Sparky Woods' winless
Gamecock football team travels to
Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the
University of Alabama in what
appears on paper to be a classic mismatch.
The 9th-ranked Crimson Tide roll
into this week's game off a 13-0
shutout against Louisiana Tech last
Saturday, and the bad news for USC
is that low point totals for Alabama
opponents is not an isolated case.
Head Coach Gene Stallings'
squad is ranked No. 3 in the nation
in scoring defense with an average
of 7.3 points per game. This scoring
stinginess combined with the Tide's
No. 1 ranking in yards allowed per
game does not bode well for the
Gamecock offense. 'Bama is only
allowing their opponents a measly

USC's soccer team faced its first
defeat of the season, 1-0, on
Wednesday in Winston-Salem,
N.C., against Wake Forest.
The loss to the Demon Deacons
broke USC's undefeated record,
giving the Gamecocks a 4-1-3
overall standing.
waKe forest senior midfielder
Ralmo deVries booted in the only
goal of the game at the 8:15 mark
on an assist from teammate Steve
Gillmor. Gillmor worked his way
through the Gamecock defense,
passing the ball to deVries just
outside of the penalty area where
he fired it past USC goalkeeper
David Turner.
USC tried eight unsuccessful
shots on the goal and Wake Forest
attempted nine, but the remaining
81 minutes of the match passed
without another score. Turner
made three saves for the
Gamecocks and Wake Forest goalkeeper
Mike McGinty prevented
six goals.
Twenty-five fouls were called
on the two teams, and two cautions
were issued durinp this nhvsical
- c I?J
match.
In the end, the 12th-ranked
Deacons claimed their fifth win of
the season.
The Gamecocks return home for
a South Region match at The
Graveyard against Furman Sunday
afternoon at 2 p.m. The
Gamecocks will try to avenge a 10
loss to the Paladins last season in
Greenville, S.C.

The defense is led by a pair of
outside linebackers, Antonio London
and Lemanski Hall. London, the 6foot-2,
220 pounder, leads the Tide
with 28 tackles, including three for
lost yardage. Hall, a junior, has i
recorded 26 tackles with 2 sacks and
also has recovered 2 fumbles. ;
Another standout for Alabama has
been junior cornerback Antonio
Langham, who has picked off three
opposing passes and leads the
speedy secondary.
On offense, Stallings has at his ;
disposal one of college football's
most exciting performers in flanker
David Palmer.
The diminutive sophomore pro- <
pelled himself into the national spot- ;
hght with seven touchdowns in his
freshman campaign, one for rushing, ;
and three each for receiving and
returning punts. He also added two
more TD's in the Blockbuster Bowl
against Colorado. But Palmer sat out i

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW |
The question facing college football
this week is: Will the real
Miami Hurricanes please stand up?
Is this season's squad the one that
blew away Iowa or the one who
escaped Arizona?
Saturday we'll all find out as die
second-ranked Hurricanes face No.
3 Florida State. Miami lost defensive
lineman Rusty Medearis, who
was a key to their defensive front.
His knee injury in the Arizona
game might keep him out until
sometime next year. Runningback
Stephen McGuire is still trying to
regain his step after a knee injury
last season.
What does all of this mean?
DoiCAtl urnnlH thnt CI r\ri r\ a

State should win this game. They ,
have gotten better and better with
each passing week. Of course, playing
Wake Forest isn't exactly the
biggest challenge in the world.
Despite all of the reasons why they
should lose, instinct and tradition
say that Miami will come out on
top. Miami has tremendous depth at
every position, and they thrive on
adversity. Coach Dennis Erickson ,
will rally his players around the
"Us versus the world" philosophy
that has worked so well in the past. ]

How long has it been since O.J.
Simpson played there?
UCLA could be primed for an
upset. Arizona put up the defensive
effort of the year when they held
Miami to eight points. UCLA is no
Miami. They do have Kevin
Williams, a great runningback, and
yet another great defensive backfield.
They'll get out of Tuscon, but
barely.
The big game in the Northeast
has Boston College facing West
Virginia. Both teams are undefeated
and want respect from the rest
of the college football community.
Is quarterback Glen Foley the second
coming of Doug Flutie? No,
but this could be BC's best team
since then. They'll beat the
Mountaineers.
